I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA
Interview
3 round onsite and 1 round telephonic call with recruiter for opening, interviewer was calm with deep understanding and patient enough to understand answers with some follow up questions, all in all it was good experience
Two professional interviews of about two hours each, three questions were asked in each. In each interview I was required to introduce myself, I was asked a number of personal questions about my studies and work-related qualities and then the professional part began. After the professional interviews, an HR call was held
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Nov 2023
Interview
It came for campus placements at IIT Kanpur. The first round was a technical interview, followed by an interview with the manager. Only puzzles and simple coding questions were asked in the technical interview. The technical round was easy but the manager didn't look too keen on hiring anyone at all.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Puzzles:
1. There are three friends who want to complete a hiking trek. The trek is 6 days long; however, each of them only has 4 days worth of food, and that is also their maximum carrying capacity. How many of them can complete the trek without any of them dying?
Puzzle:
2. There is a box with 13 W and 15 B balls. There are also 28 B balls on the outside. At each turn, two balls are randomly and simultaneously taken out of the box. If the balls are of different color, the W ball is returned to the box. If the balls are of the same color, they are removed and a B ball from outside is put into the box.
After some turns, only one ball remains in the box. Can you deterministically tell the color of this ball?
Coding:
1. The two-sum problem (famous DSA problem), both on sorted and unsorted arrays.
2. In an array, for each number, find out if it is greater than all the numbers to the right of it.
Then questions about time and space complexity of my solution.
